"October Surprise" - Detroit Pano
$9.00 - $4,699.00
"October Surprise" - Detroit Panoramic
This photo was taken in 2019, but it got lost in all of my hard drives. Over the years, I have looked and looked for it with no luck. Finally, as the Detroit Tigers made the playoffs in 2024, for the first time in over 10 years, I searched again. Finally, I found it and it is better than I remember. This photo was a 9-shot panoramic photo, showcasing all of the Detroit skyline.
The Tigers ended up losing to the Cleveland Guardians, 3-2, but had an amazing run at the end of their season.
"For All The Roses 🌹 " ft. B2 Stealth Bomber
$9.00 - $4,699.00
Introducing, "For All The Roses"! The Michigan Wolverines are The Rose Bowl Champions!
This is a shot that has been at the TOP of my bucket list for the past 3 years. I saw a similar photo of the Rose Bowl with the B2 Bomber flying over and knew that somehow I had to capture that photo. During the last two years, I have been known for capturing flyover photos from big games to flying with the Coast Guard.
This year, the Michigan Football team had an incredible season and was chosen as the #1 seed, and they opted to play in the Rose Bowl, "The Granddaddy of them All"! Once I found out they were playing in LA, I began planning out my trip, booking a helicopter, purchasing my flight and lodging, and luckily, my brother was going to join me for the epic trip. He is an Air Force Veteran who was based in Los Angeles, knows the area, and was excited to show me around.
This photo not only represents the tradition of the Rose Bowl, the selflessness of those serving in the Air Force, but it also represents my dreams coming to reality as a photographer. Thanks for supporting me and my family, I really do appreciate it!!

The Mackinac Bridge is one of Michigan's most iconic landmarks. Construction of this 5-mile bridge began in 1954 and by the year 1998 it had over 100 million crossings. This drone photo named, "Don't Look Down," was captured by Tyler of Michigan Sky Media at the perfect time in March of 2018, as the diamond-looking ice was melting. The metal grates that create the inner lanes on the bridge provide a queasy feeling for some but give a thrill for many others. The frame of this art piece is created from the original grates that many of the Mighty Mac's travelers drove on. These grates are over 60 years old and pay tribute to the hard work, dedication, and lives lost during construction.
Brushed aluminum prints (Fine Art Metals) are printed by Millers Professional Imaging, www.millerslab.com, and grate frames are constructed by Precision Plasma Cutting, precisionplasmacutting.com. To clean your fine art metal, do not use chemicals, cleaners, or abrasive cloths. Instead, use a soft cloth or feather duster. Fine Art Metals do not rust, but leaving them outside will reduce the life of the print.
*Disclaimer* The Mackinac Bridge grate may have been painted with lead based paint, but the remnants of lead based paint is unknown. Michigan Sky Media is not responsible for any issues that may occur because of the potential of having lead based paint. There are no returns or exchanges, and all sales are final.
"BET 1001" ft. Navy Spy Plane ✈️ - Michigan vs. Ohio State 2023
$9.00 - $4,699.00
Introducing, "BET 1001"!
This rival game shot of U of M vs. Ohio State (taken on 11-25-23) was one of the most anticipated games of the year. Both teams were 11-0 going into The Game, with a chance to get into the Big Ten Championship game and a spot in the College Football Playoff. With an amazing ending to this game, the Wolverines won 30-24, which makes it 3 wins in a row over the Buckeyes. This is win number 1001, which means "MI" in Roman Numerals. What does BET mean? When Coach Harbaugh got suspended for the second time for three games, Tom Brady, JJ McCarthy and many others posted the word, "BET".
What another incredible experience flying over 111,000 people at the biggest game of the year. I was honored to fly over the @usnavy and their Boeing P-8 Poseidon. I was able to speak with the pilots of this 737 a few days ago to coordinate their flyover details and everything went so smoothly.
Shortly after this photo was posted, it went viral and was shared all over the Sports world. It was shared on ESPN, ESPNFB, Collegegameday, CFBonFox, and many more. To date, it has close to 10 million views.
If purchasing the 16x20 matted print, the total size is 16x20 inches with an 11x14 print.
